Rockman Ranks 22nd In Famitsu's Top 50 Game Characters

A recent survey conducted by Famitsu magazine asked its readers to rank their favorite video game characters. The results were revealed in this week's issue, and naturally, Rockman, amidst plenty of iconic heroes and villains, managed to make the cut.

The blue bomber placed 22nd in the rankings, just behind Final Fantasy VII's Sephiroth and ahead of Devil May Cry's Dante. Solid Snake of Metal Gear Solid fame trumped all at number one. Notably, Rockman managed to outrank numerous other famed Capcom characters like Ryu (Street Fighter) and Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil) who placed 30th and 31st.

^ Yes, and not to mention the fact that they've come up with video game rumors that were completely bogus. For example, ever since 2005, they've been saying that a new Donkey Kong platformer for the Wii was going to appear at E3, and that still hasn't happened yet. They also said that Paper Mario was getting ported to the DS, and that never happened, either. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't like Famitsu.
